About Earth to People Coalition

Earth to People Coalition, Inc. (E2P) is a community-rooted nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing environmental justice, sustainable agriculture, and holistic wellness through education and hands-on practice.

Our work began in 2019 with Kelly Street Garden in the South Bronx, where we operated under the fiscal sponsorship of the Open Space Institute (OSI). With OSI’s support, we developed a strong foundation of community programming and engagement. Today, we are proud to continue this work as an independent 501(c)(3) organization—expanding our vision both locally and beyond.

Our Vision

We believe that access to land, food, and knowledge has the power to transform communities. Earth to People Coalition is building a model that connects people to the earth—and to each other—through meaningful, practical experiences.

As we grow, we are working with farming partners upstate to establish a rural space that will serve as a hub for education, cultivation, and community-building.

What We Do

Our programs are rooted in real-world experience and shaped by the needs of the communities we serve. We create inclusive, welcoming spaces where people can learn, grow, and thrive.

Our work includes:

Urban and rural agriculture
Nutrition and food education
Herbal knowledge and wellness practices
Creative programming and community engagement
Environmental stewardship and sustainability

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop an accessible and impactful educational model grounded in environmental justice and sustainable agriculture. We aim to equip individuals and communities with the skills and knowledge needed to support their health, resilience, and self-reliance.

Why It Matters

We are living in a time of significant change. Access to healthy food, open space, and environmental resources remains uneven, yet essential. Earth to People Coalition is committed to creating pathways that support well-being, strengthen communities, and promote long-term sustainability.

By teaching people how to grow, prepare, and understand their food, we help foster confidence, independence, and connection.
